As president of Hathaway Global Strategies, she helps clients from Fortune 500 companies to understand digital risks to their organizational objectives as well as advises them on cybersecurity, industry practices, government policies and legislative matters that may affect business operations.

Her awards for leadership work include the National Intelligence Reform Medal and the National Intelligence Meritorious Unit Citation.
She co-wrote the “Integrating Cyber Capacity into the Digital Development Agenda” report, funded by the World Bank’s Digital Development Partnership and commissioned by the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise Foundation, which recommends several pathways to bridge cyber capacity building and digital development communities.
